Jr J. says, "I had an excellent experience working with StudioW_2403 on a range of projects, both small and large. What started with smaller tasks like assembling furniture quickly turned into more extensive work, including painting my entire 1,500 sq. ft. unit and changing out all of the doors—and every project was handled with care, skill, and professionalism. The quality of workmanship was outstanding from start to finish. Communication was clear and consistent, timelines were respected, and the space was always left clean and orderly at the end of each day. It was especially reassuring to work with someone who could confidently take on both detailed finish work and larger, more invasive projects without compromising quality. If you’re looking for a reliable, knowledgeable, and trustworthy handyman who takes pride in their work, I highly recommend StudioW_2403. I would absolutely use their services again and refer them without hesitation."See more

FAQs

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thumbtack.

It will likely cost between $200 and $400 to hire someone to hang your Christmas lights and holiday decorations. For an accurate cost estimate, ask installers near you to give you a price quote. Let them know if you need them to supply the lights, how many you want to hang and other details about this project.

There’s no set rule of when you should or shouldn’t hang your Christmas lights. Some homeowners wait until after Halloween or Thanksgiving. Others may choose to hang them a few weeks before Christmas or at the beginning of December. 

If you want to hang up Christmas lights (or other holiday light fixtures) outdoors, you’ll need the following: 

  • Christmas and holiday lights
  • Extension cords
  • Gloves
  • Gutter clips
  • Ladder
  • Power stakes
  • Tape measure 

Instead of hanging the Christmas lights yourself, you can hire a professional installer to take care of this project for you.

The best way to hang Christmas lights on your house is to use some type of light clip (sometimes called gutter clips). To help ensure your safety, however, consider hiring a professional installer who has experience with hanging Christmas lights, handling electrical cords and using ladders.

You’ll need to measure your house to figure out how many Christmas lights you need. Some homeowners may want to start with 60 feet of lights — or 200 feet. You can take the guesswork out of it by hiring a professional installer or handy person to help you measure and install your lights.

How much you tip an installer who hangs your Christmas and holiday lighting is up to your discretion. Some people prefer to tip about 20% for services, while others may choose to tip anywhere from $20-$50. It’s up to you how much you choose to tip.
